CHATAWA A Mass of Christian Burial for Sister Audrey Mae Kihnemann, SSND, was celebrated Friday, June 10, at St. Teresa Church. Sister Kihnemann died Tuesday, June 7, at St. Mary of the Pines. Her ministry was teaching primary grade children in Arkansas, Alabama, and as a teacher of English as a second language to primary children at Notre Dame School in Japan. She returned to the States in 1971 and continued her educational ministry as teacher and counselor in secondary schools in Lousiana.
Since 2005, Sister Kihnemann was a member of the St. Mary of the Pines Community. Burial took place in the Chatawa Cemetery.

PUEBLO, Colo. – A Mass of Christian Burial for Father Walter J. Smigiel, 93, was to be celebrated June 22 at Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, Pueblo.
He joined the Franciscan Order of the Assumption of BVM Province and was ordained on June 3, 1950. He volunteered to work among the African-Americans in Greenwood, Miss. In 1953, he founded St. Benedict the Moor Information Center in Indianola, Miss., which subsequently became a parish.
After 17 years of mission work among African-Americans and being involved in the Civil Rights Movement, Father Smigiel expressed a desire to work among Native Americans and Latinos. Permission was granted by the Provincial Superior. He was accepted by Bishop Charles Buswell, bishop of Pueblo, Colo., in January of 1971. His first assignment in the Pueblo diocese was at St. Mary Parish in Montrose, Colo., where he helped found the Mexican-American Development Association, a civil rights organization. He served in Colorado until he retired from the active ministry of priesthood.

IN MEMORIAM
LONG BEACH, Calif. – Sister Cecilia Mahriam of the Holy Family, OCD, died May 5. She was 92. She was a professed Carmelite nun who had been a Chapter Sister at the Monastery of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and the Little Flower in Jackson since Jan. 28, 1998.
Sr. Cecilia Mahriam entered religious life in 1951 at the age of 27, eventually professing solemn vows on Oct. 15, 1954, at the Carmel by the Sea in Long Beach, Calif.
Before her transfer to Jackson Carmel, Sister Mahraim visited numerous Carmelite monasteries with a special interest in preserving Russian liturgy with the goal of eventually returning it to Russia once the church could freely practice again.
